THE COUNTRY. It is always with pleasure that we return to that department of our Paper in which we propose to convey the sentiments of the several loyal Jour nals throughout the Empire. It must be grati fying also to the Conductors of those Journals to know that their observations will not be confined within the immediate sphere of their publication, but that their reasonings-- will be diffused, and the reputation of their respective Journals be proportionably extended, by means of Toe SUN, through all parts of the United Kingdom►— We have often been indebted to The (Dublin) Correspondent fc- judicious articles, and we can not do better at present than to extract its sen timents on the intended retirement of Mr. PEEL from Ireland, and on the nature and effect of his official conduct in that country. We heartily assent to every tribute of praise that can be paid to that Gentleman, and sincerely hope to see him placed in a situation in which his talents may be employed more to the advantage of the Empire at large. With a full reliance on the rectitude and wisdom of Administration, we hope to see that their spirit and energy are proportionate to their other good qualities. The zeal, ability, and vigour which characterise the political conduct of Mr. PEEL, added to his eloquence, will be a stimulus as well as a support to our Rulers, and induce them, we trust, to make the most active exertions against the efforts of faction, and the Jacobi/Lica/ eagerness for Reform, which aim at the total demolition of our present Establishment. We know not t‘ hat the complexion of the New House op Commotss may be, but we are sure that Ministers ought to he prepared to meet it with resolution, firmness, and energy. Every man in office, leading or subordinate, should at this cri tical period put his shoulder to the wheel, and execute the duties entrusted to him with unceas ing ardour and activity. The unsteady, the ver satile, the supine, the indolent, those who are supported only by rank and connexions, and those who sink in the lap of luxury, ought to be roused into action. There is no want of ability in the Nation ; let it be brought forward with due en couragement and protection. This is not a time to harbour Drones in the I/ire, where none but industrious Bees should be admitted. We cor dially agree with the principles of the present Ad ministration, the principles of the Immortal PITT, upon which this Paper was originally founded, and to w h ich it has invariably adhered, and hope that .that Administration will be as re solute in their conduct, as we are sure that they arc pure in their intentions. As long as Government acts upon those principles, it shall have our humble but strenuous supprt. To re turn to Mr. PEEL. While that Gentleman and Mr. CANNING form parts of the Administration, co-operating with the extensive knowledge and manly firmness of Lord LIVERPooL, and the long experience, sound ability, and mild integrity of Lord StomouTn, we shall not despair. Hydra beaded FACTiON may raise itself in every species of Reform, supported by BUIMETTITEs, SPENCEANs, WAITHMANITES, HUNTITES, &C. &c. &c. if there be any difference among them in doctrines or de signs, but we trust that they will find the force of HEIICULES in each and all of these able Chant- pions for THE CONSTITUTION : (From The (Dublin) Correopontlent of July 11.) " The public have already been given to under stand, by vations intimations, that the Right lion. Mr. Peel is about to retire from his official situation in Ireland. We had at first hoped that the surmise had not been better founded than many others, to the same effect, which had pre ceded it ; but it is too true—and Mr. Peel's re tirement from office in this country, we are sorry to announce, is definitively arranged. Ireland is about to lose the services of a Minister, who, for upwards of six years, has watched over her inte rests with unremitting zeal and unrivalled fidelity —and a fact of this nature cannot be reflected on by a warm-hearted, generous race, without having their affections sensibly touched, and their regards and attachments entwined with their grab titude and admiration. " Mr. Peel found us a people broken into angry divisions, exasperated within our respective de marcations, without almost a relish left for any thing, but what may be palatable to preiiclice, in its highest state of excitation. He found Go vernment incommoded in its operations, by the ceaseless re-actions which it bad to encounter— none of any very alarming force—but several that were irksome, arid many that occasioned no small degree of increased friction in its movements. He found the peasantry in a state of insurrection— the Magistracy without confidence in their power —the public mind soured by various influences— and all these powers and energies, that act upon public feeling, and direct the course of opinion extemporaneously, earnestly disposed to obstruct the action of Government, and, if possible, to mislead the Legislat ore. It was in a season of singular disquiet, and while libel and slander held a sway over men's minds, unattempted before in any country in the world, and while circumstances so onpropit ions as those alluded to, disturbed and distracted the Irish nation, that Mr. Peel came. With the spirit of the Constitution, he rebuked the barbarous fury of rustic insurrection—with THEATRICAL REGISTER. Performed on Saturday Night. KING'S THEATRE.-11 Bat biere di Siviglia.

ISOLLNI Qtris I)MERE FALSUM AUDEAT ? LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 20, 1818. We received yesterday the Paris Papers of Thursday last, and this morning those of Fiiday. They at y length take aortic notice of the Conept racy. The Gazette de France of Thursday contains the followimf paragraph : " A procedure has been going on for about ten or twelve days against the Sieurs Chapdelaine, Marechal de Camp, on the retired list; Songy, formerly a Staff Officer; Romilly, Brevet Chef de Battalion; and Joannis, who were arrested on the 2,1 instant by order of the Juge d' Instruction. No thing has transpired as to the nature of this %air, which appears to be 'as odious with regard to the nature of the 'offence charged, as foolish with respect to .its object and the means of execution. It is stated, that Lieute nant-General Cannel, against whom a mandat of arrest had issued, has been absent from home since the arrest of the persons accused, and that the Officers of Justice who went to his residence have sealed up the papers which he left there. Several witnesses have been examined. Nothing more decidedly prnves the little importance attached by public opinion to this event, or the little apprehension excited by the presumed instigators of a plot as ridiculous as criminal, which Is supposed to be the object of prosecution, than the progressive rise of the public funds, which were yesterday at 78 1." The above paragraph is in the postscript of the Gazette de France, as if it had just been allowed to be published ; the other papers of that day are completely silent upon the subject. The Journals of Friday content themselves with merely copying this paragraph, with the excep tion of the Monileur, which gives 'the following from the Journal des Moires:— " Publit; curiosity has been strongly excited by the arrest of several individuals, said to be accused of machinations, respecting the graveness of which the accounts are not agreed, but which have called for the attention of justice. By virtue of Manda ls from the Jir Are cr Instruction, and on the requisi tion of the King's Procureur, the Sieurs Songis, Chapedelaine, and Joannis, were conveyed to La Force on the sth instant. A great number of witnesses have been examined, and according to what is stated of the questions addressed to them, projects were in agitation, so criminal, and at the same time so foolish, teat the execution of them would have been as impossible as the bare idea of them is re- Tolting." Tf►e KING held a Council of Ministers at St Cloud on IVednesday, at one o'clock, which sa tin four. A Court mourning for twenty-one (lays (eleven in black, and ten in white) was ordered to com mence on Friday last, for the Queen Dowager of SWEDEN. The Duke of WELLINGTON left Paris at ball-past six o'clock on •'Wednesday morning. The Count de \VORONZOFF, Commander-in- Chief of the Russian Corps d'Armee in France, bad set out from the bead•quartes at Alaubeuge for Aix-la-Chapelle. This is quoted in the French Journals from The Brussels Oracle, in which it is added, that there is no longer any doubt that the Army of Occupation will quit the French terri tory at the commencement of the ensuing Autumn. The Archduchess of PARMA arrived on die 2d instant at Baden, near Vienna, where her Im perial Highness remains till August, and then re turns of Parma. The Emperor of AUSTRIA, who arrived on the 34 at Baden, after making some stay there, proceeds along the Rhine in August, visiting Mayence, Cologne, &c, previous to going to Aix-la-Chapelle. The following are additional Extracts from the Journals of Friday : " PARIS, JULY 17.—The King promenaded yesterday in the environs of Manly. " A very fine steam-boat has been constructed at Naples, to sail between that Port and Palermo. " Several of the Foreign Journals have pub- isheci a Letter purporting to have been mitten in March, ISIS, by Cardinal Gonsalvi, Secretary of State, to Cardinal Perigord, Archbishop of Paris, respecting the Concordat. We are autho rised to declare, that all that has been published on this subject is false, and that no such Letter was ever written by the Minister of his Boll ness.—(l'ilini de la Religion) " The Baron Malouet is appointed Prefect of Seine Interieure, in the room of the Count de Kergariou, appointed Councillor of State ; the Baron Simeon to be Prefect of Pas de Calais, in the room of Malvuet ; and the Sienr de Villices du Terrage to be Prefect of Doubs, in the room of Simeon.

"A Memoir of Mr. Peel's Administration would be the only just enlogium upon his conduct, and that deserves to be communicated through a less perishable medium than a daily Journal. But, however that conduct may deserve to be preserved among the actions of honest and able men—even in this place it cannot lessen its value to recal to the minds of our readers the aspect which this country presented before Mr. Peel's arrival bete, ' and during the course of the last six years—the desperate conflicts engendered by the collision of religions rivalry—the disheartening effects of scarcity which followed—the embarrassments re sulting from opposite opinions and contending sentiments, where the fears of the public, and the speculations of individual avarice, and the de signs of discontented factions, were all at work, to advise and topropound—and especially the great calamity which followed, when contagion came to clo,e the series of public sufferings, andswept off its victims in thousands. All fair and impartial men, who may bring those subjects to their con,empla tion, cannot fail to admire the firmness and poli tic wisdom—the calmness and self-possession— the liberal anxiety and generous labour—the ar dent humanity and effective .ability, which those deep and awful conjunctures respectively exhibit ed in this distinguished object of our remarks ; and convinced we are, that there is not one ho nourable mind in this nation, who %yin turn over the events of the period we have mew ioned, who will not admit, that it required talents of the first description—qualities of character of the most eminent kind—in any Minister—to have led the country through such a course of contention, fa mine, and pestilence, with the incomparable suc cess which crowned ail Mr. Peel's labours. By the judicious application of the powers of Govern ment—pnlceres exigui jactu—in every specific case—by unconquerable resolution—by good-tem pered vigour, all those evils have been surmount ed—and even the most vehement preachers of in subordination have been subdued into silence, awl the must turbulent spirits allured into sub-, mission. " Iu real talents, qualified for the paramount avocations of Government, there is something by which they stamp their own peculiar impression upon the very events which they create or go vern. Not only is the work well done, but it is done in a peculiar way—as - no other person could do it—in a wAy which carries the mark of a mas ter's hand upon it. Turbulence, has been often repressed, the Laws justified, and Justice assert ed—and many disorders have been overpowered, from time to time, in this country ; but it was reserved for Mr. Peel—for that Minister, who we are to lose in so short a time, and for ever— to erect something of advantage upon the founda tion of the evils which he had displaced —not only to suppress rapine, but to establish securi ty—not only to reduce insurrection, but to pro. vide for tranquillity—not only to labour in the cause of misery and sickness, but to take care that the sphere of both, in future, should be con tracied. it was further peculiar to his honest wit! manly spirit to cleave to this country with the affections of a native—to admire, unbound edly, the national character—to extol, and to m4intain it—and to set up claims in its behalf, exceeding those of the most national description of Irishmen. " We have greatly outstepped the limits which we bad proposed to ourselves when we began thiesubject—but still w e h ave l e f t our own feel-' inks ungratified at having said so little. The country is about to suffer a great loss—And we are convinced that an universal consciousness to the same effect prevails. This is a grateful na tion—remarkable for quick sensibility, and some thing of a tenderness united with its highest mas culine tone. Nu doubt, upon an occasion which addresses so much to its gratitude, as well as to its regrets, it will not be wanting. It will speak as it thinks and feels—and there will be no libe ral or loyal spirit in the land, in such case, that will, not have a share in publicly testifying the general sense entertained of the transcendant me rits of that Minister, who is so immediately to be withdrawn from us."
